Running

Amos Owen is a man who has been hurting his entire life. In Beloved Husband we see how Amos starts working at a very young age. He started with a job that many of us would consider a pretty average job for a kid. The only thing is Amos hated the fact that he would have to get up early every morning in order to go to work. Amos hated the silence that came with the early morning and would awkward bc of it. I can relate to Amos in that exact sense since I often stay up late in which my room mates have fallen asleep and all is quiet. even though everyone has passed I still want to act as if it's mid day and can disturb them from time to time. Amos would continue to work early morning jobs including the fish mart where he would have to catch the early morning train in order to get to work. Once Amos was old and wealthy enough he purchased the fish mart in which he once worked ending his streak of early morning awakenings and thus ending his woes of always being up when others aren't. This would not end Amos's problems. The ability of waking up early had been instilled in him. Amos wasn't running from waking up early, he was running from the idea of something being wrong in his life.
